Product Overview
Description | Recombinant Mouse Claudin-18 (CLDN18) Protein (His), Active is produced by our Mammalian cell expression system. This is a full length protein. |
Endotoxin | Less than 1.0 EU/ug as determined by LAL method. |
Activity | Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Mouse Cldn18 at 5 μg/mL can bind Anti-CLDN18.2 recombinant antibody , the EC 50 is 6.115-11.01 ng/mL. |

Expression Range | 1-264aa |
Protein Length | Full Length of Isoform A2.1 |
Mol. Weight | 29.1 kDa |
Form | Lyophilized powder |
Buffer | Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered PBS, 6% Trehalose, pH 7.4 |
Reconstitution | Briefly centrifuged the vial prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. It is recommended to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. The default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. |
Storage | 1. Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for mutiple use. 2. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. 3. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week. 4. In general, protein in liquid form is stable for up to 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. Protein in lyophilized powder form is stable for up to 12 months at -20°C/-80°C. |
Notes | Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week. |

Gene Functions References
- The presented data substantiate the hypothesis that claudin-18 is a central barrier-forming component of tight junctions and show that IL-13 downregulates claudin-18. These data also suggest that the loss of claudin-18 is associated with increased sensitization to aeroantigens and airway responsiveness PMID: 27215490
- The claudin-18 knockout mice exhibited decreased P2X7 mRNA transcript abundance as measured by mRNA expression microarray PMID: 27663455
- CLDN18 deficiency results in epithelial barrier dysfunction, injury, and impaired alveolarization in mice. PMID: 24787463
- Identify a role for claudin 18 in alveolar fluid homeostasis beyond its direct contributions to barrier properties. PMID: 24588076
- we conclude that the estrogen effects on osteoclasts may in part be mediated via regulation of Cldn-18 signaling PMID: 23299504
- Claudin-18 is expressed at the variety of epithelial tissues in inner ear including Organ of Corti, stria vascularis, Reissner's membrane, spiral limbus, vestibular sensory epithelia, and dark cell area. PMID: 14698084
- Cldn-18 is a novel negative regulator of bone resorption and osteoclast differentiation PMID: 22437732
- Claudin-18 forms a paracellular barrier against H(+) in the stomach. Deficiency causes paracellular H(+) leak, up-regulation of proinflammatory cytokines, recruitment of neutrophils, and atrophic gastritis. PMID: 22079592
